Marathon Training - 19.4 miles

On Sunday I ran my second longest run in my training schedule and the longest run I've done to date at 19.4 miles. Mostly it went very well with me feeling better than all of my previous long runs and completing it at a better rate than before.

I now have new trainers and they seemed to support my arches better with less aches on the run itself and immediately after. I do have a blood blister on my toe but minor ailment compared to the aches!

One worry though - I had a strange sensation in my right achilies tendon at about 18 miles which hurt badly enough to make me stop and walk for about 100m. After this it was okay and I was able to finish my run. However, it has been feeling slightly strange for brief moments yesterday and today so I really hope I've done no long lasting damage.
